Calciment is an economical solidfication agent used to remove free liquids from waste prior to disposal in accordance with EPA regulations. Calciment hydrates free liquid and cements to a soil or rock-like solid determined by application rate. Large volume increases typically associated with absorbents (ie. saw dust) is reduced saving disposal costs. Liquid release during transportation or compaction is eliminated.

Calciment is commonly used to solidify waste contained in surface impoundments for closure. These wastes may be solidified and removed or left in place and capped. The solidified waste will gain strength with time supporting a cap while limiting the mobility of waste constituents.

High volume wastes such as flue gas desulfurization (FGD) sludge, sewage sludge, and coal refuse waste can be solidified with Calciment to improve their handling characteristics and stability. Certain wastes when solidified are beneficially reused in construction or agricultural applications.
